How to parse C files with stdint.h types

I have a C file that includes structs whose members are of one of the stdint.h types (e.g. uint8_t, int32_t, int_fast8_t, etc). When I add this file to the “Source files to parse”, and hit “Parse to Program”, I get the following error:

C Parser: Encountered errors during parse.
    in <file> near line -5
    near token: null
    Last Valid Datatype: foo
    Check around CParserPlugin.out around line: 96

CParserPlugin.out is:

95  struct pa_channel_map {
96      uint8_t channels;
97      pa_channel_position_t map[32];
98  };

How do I parse this file without manually defining the stdint types?

Workaround for types defined in archives but not used during import/parsing:

1. In the data type manager, filter then right-click on the needed files. (In the case of many programs that need only “standard” definitions like the above, types.h and stdint.h will suffice.) Export the C headers of the file:

2. In the C parser dialog, empty all files and options (the “eraser” icon). Add the newly exported headers as well as the header for the program you’re analyzing:

Certainly further customization may be needed for appropriate choices of archive files to export-then-import or other issues, but this solves the specific case of the OP and many other similar ones.

The Cparser has had some refactoring, bug fixes, and better error reporting completed in an upcoming change. Types that are unsatisfied from parsing will be looked up in any open archives. In addition any types that are equivalent from any open archive with a parsed data type will use the data type from the archive. After parsing you can disconnect the data types from the dependent archive if you no longer want to synchronize with dependent archive. There are also three options on the warning dialog to Use Open Archives, Don’t Use Open Archives, and Cancel.

This was always a planned change, but there needed to be some refactoring and cleanup.
